Coronavirus: The science behind the new Covid-19 mRNA vaccines
Description
January 23, 2021
There is a misconception that mRNA technology is unsafe because it’s so new. But that simply isn’t true. While the Covid-19 messenger RNA vaccines are the first of their kind, the science behind the method is decades old. Dawna Friesen explores how the mRNA vaccine was made and how this revolutionary technology could give way to a new era in vaccinology.
